It says you have a AGP port. You would be better off picking a AGP card not a PCI.

Yeah i know, but when i opened my computer i couldn't locate any brown AGP slot just the 3 PCI slots.

 

[StrangleHold]

This is the board and it shows one

AGP connector supporting 1x, 2x, and 4x AGP cards (1.5 V only) or an AGP Digital Display (ADD) card

AGP is outdated and way slower than pci-e but you should def go with agp over pci. AGP is up to 8 times faster than pci.

 

[lattestone]

that brown slot above the 3 PCI slots isn't in my computer for some reason.

Sounds like your scrwed and stuck with slow pci graphics. You'd be better off getting a new and cheap mobo and a pci-e card.

 

[lattestone]

OK but i was just wondering if this PCI graphics card would work with my computer.

It would work but, dont expect much out of it. It sounds like its going to run hot too as their is no fan. Dont waste your money on a new psu as that card wont require more power than what your have.

 

[StrangleHold]

Yea it would work, its getting harder to find good PCI cards.

Thanks for the help, I'm probably going to upgrade to a new computer.

Probably a good idea! Go for a HP or Gateway if your going for a prebuilt and full setup.
